Washington Commanders
A to Z Sports
Injuries have been a major factor this year, especially with key players, and they’re finally getting the starting offense on the field for the first time this season.
“It’s really important for him, for his teammates, for, you know, for any of the guys, honestly,” Quinn added. “You know, looking into it, with five games, that’s like 30% of our season. There’s a lot, and all of these matter. And you know, as he’s developing,...

The Washington Commanders are visiting the Minnesota Vikings this week. Both teams have had disappointing seasons, and dealt with QB injuries. Jayden Daniels and J.J. McCarthy are both returning today, with Daniels coming back from an elbow dislocation, and McCarty clearing concussion protocol. They have seven wins between them, but the Commanders are getting a lot of their players back, and are looking to show they’ve still got some fight left in a lost season.

The Washington Commanders made several roster moves before tomorrow’s game against the Minnesota Vikings. Wide receiver Noah Brown was activated from injured reserve as expected. He hasn’t played since suffering a groin injury in Week 2, and he’s also still listed with a knee injury he’s been dealing with since June’s mandatory mini-camp. Brown will join Terry McLaurin who returned from a quad injury last week and had a big impact in a close overtime loss.
WR Chris Moore was released to open a spot on the 53-man roster. He has been with the team since signing to the practice...

Daniels, who has been cleared to play Sunday, scrambles more than any quarterback in the league. Protecting himself while doing so will be the key to a successful return.
The…urgent question, both for Daniels and the team, is the same one that has trailed him for years: Can his scrambling ability continue to be his superpower, without also being his kryptonite?
“In this league, to survive, there’s certain hits you have to try to avoid,” Commanders offensive coordinator Kliff...

Two overtime losses in which the Commanders looked competitivre have done a lot to ameliorate the lack of fan confidence that blossomed in the wake of four consecutive ugly losses that occurred between Weeks 7 and 10 — a sting of games in which the Commanders were out-scored 154-65. Losing by an average of more than 22 points per game for a quarter of the season will take the heart out of most any fan base. The surprise, if there is any, is that anyone at all still expressed confidence in the Commanders by mid-November.
And yet, many Washington fans...

The Washington Commanders held their third, and final full practice of the week today. Dan Quinn announced that Jayden Daniels is starting vs the Vikings on Sunday. This is his first game back since dislocating his left elbow vs the Seahawks in Week 9. He practiced last week, but wasn’t cleared for contact, and Marcus Mariota got another start during an injury-filled season. Quinn said that Daniels had a good week, and it will be good to see him back on the field.
Two players have been ruled out for the Vikings game. DE Drake Jackson was [activated from injured...

Dan Quinn opened up his Friday, post-practice presser by naming team captains for Sunday’s game against the Minnesota Vikings. Sam Cosmi represents the offense and Quinn talked about his return from a January ACL injury, and his impact on the team when he returned. Will Harris also returned from a leg injury from earlier this season, and has been a positive influence on everyone around him. Jeremy McNichols gets the nod on special teams, and he continues to be an underrated player in Washington.
Quinn said Jayden Daniels has been cleared to play, and he will get the start in...

There are some positives even in a seven-game losing streak, but Washington is merely playing out the string at this point.
[T]he Commanders have seen some positives in recent weeks. They’ve gotten healthier and were more competitive in consecutive overtime losses to the Miami Dolphins and Denver Broncos. They won’t meet the expectations they set for themselves coming into this season, but it feels more likely they could end this year on a high note.
Although the losses keep...

It’s week 14 of the NFL season and the 3-9 Washington Commanders will be facing a 4-8 Minnesota Vikings team on the road at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, Minnesota on Sunday at 1:00 pm ET. The Vikings had a reasonable start to the season, winning 3 of their first 5 games, but have gone on to lose 6 of their last 7 games. The Vikings seemed to find lightning in a bottle last year, with a 5th-ranked defense in terms of points allowed and a rehabilitated QB in Sam Darnold, but have struggled to find any sort of success...

Never mind all the doom and gloom about the failure of the Commanders’ season. The Sons of Washington played a tough game against the 9-2 Denver Broncos, who are riding nine-game winning streak en route to a playoff run.
The Commanders fought to the final whistle. Dan Quinn went down swinging with a two point conversion attempt for the win, rather than settling for a tie.
There was plenty to inspire hope for a better 2026, by way of stand-out performances by young players including Josh Conerly Jr, Mike Sainristil, Jordan Magee and Kain Medrano, as well as established veterans...
